A day after Sidney Crosby said hockey wouldn’t change if head shots were removed, Marian Gaborik said he agreed completely with the Penguins star.

“Head shots are dangerous, and he’s right,” Gaborik said. “That’s how it should be. Guys should be playing a game that’s fun for us to play and fun for the fans, and purposely going after guys with elbows or blindside hits should be out.”

Crosby, who by the age of 24 already has won an MVP and a Stanley Cup, hasn’t played a game since suffering hits to the head against the Capitals in the Winter Classic on Jan. 1 and the Lightning on Jan. 5.

“At the end of the day, I don’t think there’s a reason not to take [head shots] out,” Crosby told reporters during a press conference Wednesday in Pittsburgh.

“The odd time maybe there’s accidental contact, but for the most part we can control what goes on out there. For sure, it’s a fast game, but guys have to be responsible. A guy’s got to be responsible for his stick. Why shouldn’t he be responsible for the rest of his body when he’s going to his somebody?”
